Just reacting to the previous post about Herbert, I thought I'd upload his performance at Rockingham, as only on his 6th ever BTCC race he managed to hold his own against the two championship leaders (and made Giovanardi lose patience and throw a dive straight out of Forza online lobbies).

Thanks for this. Herbert did better than I recalled. Good old Turks was there to cleanly pick up the pieces as always. This season was his first Championship win if I remember rightly.

Really miss Rockingham, always decent racing. I remember standing on top of the pit garages watching this fight live. Great fun.

Rockingham was always a decent race. Shame it's useless now. Miss it on the calendar.
